Abstract
Software productivity and quality improvement through software configuration management is based on organized and consistent change management. In change management, artifact identified as configuration item should be able to provide its changed history to the members in group and the members should be able to track down the changes made for the corresponding artifact. General software configuration management systems provide tracking information for artifacts only within the configuration management system, and it does not go further to changes that occur within personal working space. This paper provides a solution that helps tracking down changes that occur not only in configuration management, but also personal artifact's changes through the integration of configuration management system and personal working space. A revised version in configuration management system is connected to the artifact version of the working space by the tagging technique, and traceability can be managed more effectively by sharing the tracking information.
